Rich Hagberg

I'm a consulting psychologist and executive leadership coach who's spent 45 years working with over 500 companies globally, including 30 years in Silicon Valley. Since 2009, I've focused on helping startup founders and their teams scale, while continuing work with larger corporations.

I started seven companies myself, so I know firsthand what it takes to build something from nothing. My book, Founders Keepers: Why Founders Are Built to Fail and What It Takes to Succeed, distills what I've learned from research on 122 founders and three decades of hands-on coaching.

Happy to help with founder leadership and building high-performing teams, and navigating the scaling challenges most founders miss.
